Multitask and Feed Your Mind at the Same Time

With the extra time I have on my hands this summer, I'm trying to walk a little more and focus on improving my health. One problem I have, though, is that I hate to take time away from my two loves: reading and knitting.
What I've discovered is that I can have the best of both worlds when it comes to my first love. I can exercise AND listen to books that I have on my reading list. Getting lost in a book helps me to forget that I'm sweating, and the time flies by while I'm racking up exercise mileage.
If you're interested in audiobooks as well, I've had great success with Audible.com and iTunes. Or, you can purchase books on CD and download them to your computer and move them to your MP3 player.
Happy listening!
